Frequently Asked Questions

Just start typing, and hit enter when you want to search.
Often, you'll only need to type a few letters before the restaurant name appears
in the drop down below the listbox. Use the arrow keys, or your mouse to select the correct
name and hit enter.
If we can only find one restaurant, you'll be taken right to the restaurant page. If not, we'll
show you some choices.
You can search using the restaurant name, or tags (labels that people have used to describe a
restaurant).
You can also be a bit more specific. Search only on a certain street.
Some examples might help.

It closed, and we removed it. That happens a lot. Try checking on the map, maybe something
new has opened up.

MapWhat do I do?

The map contains push-pins representing the locations of restaurants.
There are probably a lot.
To the right of the map there's a list of all the visible restaurants.
Move the map using your mouse, and the controls on the left hand side. You can also type in
an address to find a specific location.
To filter the restaurants, type into the search box.

e.g. type pizza to show only restaurants tagged with pizza, or containing the word
pizza in their name.

Why is a restaurant missing from the map?

There may be a few reasons.

There are a lot of restaurants, we can't always show you all of them. Try zooming in, or wiggling the
map a bit.

We have that restaurant in the wrong position. We used some automated tools to
find the location of the restaurants on the map. Sometimes they make mistakes. You can
use the edit links to tell us about this too.

Restaurant InfoWhy is the data wrong/missing?

We're doing our best, but some things slip through. You can help if you like. Either edit
on a restaurant page, or
suggest a new restaurant

This restaurant is closed...

Please tell us about this.

MenusWhy don't you have a menu for ...

There are a lot of restaurants...

You can help us with this too if you like (for details look on the menu pages).

If a restaurant already has a menu online, we'll add a link to it rather than duplicating it.
The goal of fyood is to focus on the small neighbourhood restaurants,
not the big franchises.

Why do you have a menu for, you can't do that, I don't want it here, Grrrr

Well, we don't want to argue about it. If you're the owner/manager of a restaurant and you'd
prefer we didn't host your menu let us know through the contact form and
we'll remove it. Of course we'd prefer to discuss it.
